These 7 foods we are eating at the wrong hours in wrong way.

1.Tea and coffee  as the first drink of the day

Having coffee or tea with a biscuit as the first meal is not a great idea for the body. Research shows after waking up the presence of cortisol released by the body is necessary caffeine in coffee disrupts that. This disturbs the biological rhythm.

Moreover Coffee and tea is not the best choice after getting up because any stimulant which has caffeine jolt the system out of slumber. It increases the blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate and make the body feel stressed and kicked which in turn hampers fat burning.

In the morning the heart and breathing rates are at its lowest as this is the reflection of a relaxed state of mind and body so disrupting that actually disturbs the natural process. These stimulants increase blood sugar level but provide zero nutrition to the cells that have been starving for the last 9 to 10 hours or more post-dinner.

Moreover having anything with tea and coffee is a waste as they disrupt nutrient absorption from the food.

2. Lemon in hot water early morning  and after a meal

Often lemon in hot water is treated as a magic drink. Many think that it helps to lose weight but it’s not true. Lemons are very acidic and it causes excess acid formation in the stomach. This may cause problems like heartburn, heaviness in the stomach and gastric problems.

Taking lemon juice in warm water after a meal may also interfere with nutrient absorption. So having warm water is fine but having lemon with warm water is not a good practice.




3. Bananas after Dinner

Many people have a habit of eating Bananas after dinner. Bananas are Calorie dense fruits which are rich in fructose, potassium, iron, folic acid and B12.

It is very beneficial for the body. One medium-sized banana is around 105 kcal approx. So after a wholesome dinner eating banana becomes excess in terms of calories taken at one time.

Not recommended for people with diabetes, obesity or people who are trying to lose fat. The Best time to eat a banana is one hour before a workout or after waking up in the morning.

4. Apples at Night

Nowadays many people who attend the gym in the evening eat an apple before entering the gym and many eat after dinner. But it’s not advisable.

Apples are rich in fibre and contain natural acid that is supposed to improve digestion and colon function. But if we have them in the evening it may lead to discomfort in the stomach and can lead to gas formation.

This happens because our digestion slows down at night and it takes much longer for the food to digest. The best time to have apple is in the morning which in turn stimulates our bowel movement. Especially if we have unhealthy food or have late-night dinner we should have an apple early in the morning.

5. Beans at night

Often vegetable soups or mixed vegetable preparations for dinner are made using beans.Beans are excellent sources of dietary fibre, protein, Vitamin B and minerals. Studies show that it even helps to keep a check on blood sugar and cholesterol.

That’s why beans are super healthy for us. But having them at night can cause bloating and gas which in turn can reduce the quality of sleep.

The oligosaccharides in beans can cause indigestion resulting in gas formation. So the best time to have beans is during lunch especially for people who are trying to lose excess fat.

6. Alcohol at night before sleep 

Many surveys show that many people take alcohol at night regularly to have a good night sleep i.e. they think alcohols are good sleep aids. But that’s not the truth. Alcohol actually disrupts sleep quality. According to findings, Alcohols helps healthy people to fall asleep quicker but actually reduces Rapid Eye Movement Sleep (REM).

REM sleep takes place 90 minutes after we fall asleep. It’s that stage when people dream and it’s also the restorative part of sleep. Disruption in this phase actually causes poor concentration, irritability and drowsiness.

It also suppresses your breathing and can precipitate sleep apnea or pauses in breathing that happen throughout the night.  Research shows that this habit can induce sleepwalking and talking. It also makes us hungrier and craves for carbohydrates. This can lead to overeating.

7. Chocolates as dessert after dinner

Cocoa in chocolates is known to be full of flavonols like compounds which are found in vegetables and fruits which have health benefits.

Flavanols can improve blood flow and lead to lower blood pressure. It also contains minerals. So having chocolate in moderation is good for health provided we keep a check on the quantity. But having for night actually disturbs the sleep.

Chocolates contain caffeine which is a stimulant. It actually triggers a jolt in the system disrupting the rhythm of the body.We can have chocolates before workouts.
